Louis André (Loet) Leydesdorff (born 21 August 1948 in Djakarta ( Dutch Indies )) is a Dutch sociologist, cyberneticist and Professor in the Dynamics of Scientific Communication and Technological Innovation at the University of Amsterdam. He is known for his work in the sociology of communication and innovation. Scientometrics -the quantitative study of scientific communication -challenges science and technology studies demonstrating that organized knowledge production and control is amenable to measurement.

Quality assessments permeate the entire scientific enterprise, from funding even of large research units can therefore be measured with reasonable effort. As bibliometrics has developed into a standard procedure in research This new challenge of measuring the broad impact of research on society The urgency of improving our understanding of a knowledge-based economy provides the context and necessity of this study.

Bioenergy remains as a reference of global sustainable energy production. There is a plethora of raw materials, which may be used as biomass for energy including agricultural residues and straws, wood, and urban garbage, which may be put under the semantic term of waste. The measurement of the communication/sharing of meaning among frames of reference for example, in university-industry-government relations is very much on the research agenda of scientometrics (e.g., Leydesdorff & Ivanova, in press), but still a step away from how meaningful communication can further be codified in scientific discourses.
